Chapter 865 Escape (Part 1)

Lu Shu and A Duo grew up in northern Xinjiang and were extremely familiar with the grassland situation. So they were stunned for only a moment and said in unison: "They are the remnants of the Tata'er tribe!"

The so-called Tata'er tribe is a Mongolian tribe that was active in the southern and northern deserts before the rise of the Nylon Mongolia. Under them are the Tutu Heiliwuti Tata'er, Alchita'er, Chahan T'ar, etc.

All tribes have strong soldiers. People in the Central Plains often refer to the grassland peoples as "Tatars". This "Tatar" is said to come from "Tata'er", which shows that the Tata'er tribe was originally very strong.

When the fourth generation ancestor of Genghis Khan was Hebul Khan, the Tatar tribe had enmity with the Nilon Mongolian tribes, and the two sides continued to attack and plunder each other. By the time of Genghis Khan's great-grandfather Aba Khan, the Tatar tribe planned to capture Anba.

After that, the Tatar tribe poisoned Genghis Khan's father Yesugei.

During the Cheng'an period of the Jin Dynasty, the power of the Tata'er tribe reached its peak, and they once sent troops to harass the Jin Kingdom. At that time, the Jin Kingdom was still strong, so Prime Minister Wanyan Xiang led a heavy expedition. The Tata'er tribe was defeated by the Jin army and was defeated.

It fled and was attacked by the coalition forces of Genghis Khan and Tuoli Khan, and was destroyed from then on.

Because the Tatar Tribe had great potential in the grassland, Genghis Khan, on the one hand, quickly took the sisters of the Nattar Tribe and became his concubines to show his kindness and generosity; on the other hand, he secretly ordered his subordinates to send the men of the Tatar Tribe to

Kill them all, divide the women and children into slaves, and eradicate the roots.

Unexpectedly, this order was accidentally leaked by Belgutai, which caused the Tatar tribe to continue to resist stubbornly. The war lasted for a long time and the Mongolian tribe suffered heavy casualties.

Even after Genghis Khan turned his attention to the Naiman tribe, the Kled tribe, and his ally Jamuka, the continuous strangulation of the Tatar tribe in the eastern steppe continued. A large number of Tatar people had to flee the grassland and seek refuge.

The Kingdom of Jin. Among the so-called Yi army in the Kingdom of Jin, there were many Tatar people.

When Genghis Khan launched the Western Expedition, Mongolia's control over the grasslands was slightly weakened, and many Tatar tribes that were wandering around got a chance to breathe. Some of the larger remnants once returned from the Song Desert and dared to fight with the Mongols.

Fighting for pasture, the activity area of ​​the scattered remnants has also expanded.

Seeing that these people were walking around freely in the market and flopping in the mud of the lakes and swamps without even making a sound, they must be familiar with the roads to be able to carry out such a sneak attack. It was obvious that the merchants were guarding against the same people before.

.

But looking at the appearance of these people, it doesn't look like they often took advantage of Han merchants.

The products of the Central Plains are dozens of times richer than those of the grasslands. In recent years, due to the continuous inflow of materials from the Southern Dynasties, the vitality of the Great Zhou Kingdom has been rapidly recovering every day, and the gap between the Central Plains and the grasslands has become more and more obvious.

Not to mention the monopoly profits in the hands of the government such as salt, iron, livestock, etc., as long as a businessman with ordinary wealth is brave enough to take a trip to the back of Monan Mountain, it is easy to earn several times the profit.

On the contrary, because the ironware, porcelain, cloth, and satin commonly used by the Han people are far superior to similar products on the grasslands, if these people often plunder Han'er, then there will definitely be traces.

At least he would be wearing a few cloth robes, so he wouldn't look like a beast wrapped in fur, right?

At least what's in the quiver shouldn't be bone arrows, right?

How stupid would they have to be if they were still so poor after robbing Han merchants one after another?

Is it difficult to extort some benefits from a single merchant? Isn't it enough to make them live a comfortable life for a while?

"Unless..." Lu Shu's face looked a little ugly.

"Unless this group of Tatar people are the stupidest kind! Ye Li Ya wanted to keep them around Gouluo, using them to intimidate the Han merchants who came to the market, so as to ensure that the Han merchants would not dare to

Wandering around and revealing the secrets of his big business with us! These people are just murderers!"

"Ye Li Ya Si, this old boy is not a good thing!" A Duo said bitterly.

"It's not a good thing that this guy can do business with us behind the back of the Golden Family! What's wrong with raising a group of Tatar people?" Lu Shu shouted: "Is this what matters now?"

"What is the most important thing?"

Lu Shu patted himself and took out the inner pocket of his sleeve: "I carry it with me

All the money, gold and pearls have been taken away, what about you?"

"I have no belongings with me. The most valuable thing is your sword... it has been taken away. Even my thicker clothes have been taken away."

"All our money was taken away. What do you think they did with our lives?"

Both of them were familiar with the customs of these grassland tribes. They were stunned for a moment and said in unison again: "Tomorrow is the seventh day of the lunar month, the day when the red magpie takes flight. They want to keep us as prey for hunting tomorrow!"

Thinking of this, both of them broke into a cold sweat.

The two of them had been severely beaten and captured before. Although they didn't know what would happen to them, they were able to maintain their courage. This is because young people who grew up in war-torn times usually have some elements of generosity in their personalities, which can be seen in all kinds of dangerous situations.

If you do too much, you won’t have to pee your shit for others to see.

But not being afraid of death does not mean that they want to die. It was just that they were caught off guard before, but now that they have anticipated the danger, the two of them are definitely not willing to wait for death.

The two of them ate the remaining potatoes without saying anything more, and then fell asleep on their backs.

The Tatar people's fuss around the campfire did not last long. Perhaps, after all, the whole clan was the sworn enemy of Genghis Khan, so they were used to hiding their voices. As soon as night fell, everyone scattered back to their tents, and it didn't take long for everyone to return to their tents.

There were snores everywhere.

At the zenith of the moon, the moonlight was shining, and it could be seen that no one in the tent arrows was talking or moving. Only the Wu Lachi holding chicken heart iron laos were patrolling inside and outside the camp. Occasionally, they approached the stable where Lu Shu and A Duo were.

, the horses bleated to themselves at first, and when they got closer, they saw the two of them lying in the thatch, both seemed to be fast asleep.

Wu Lachi walked farther away, and the two of them slowly stood up again, using the cover of the thatch pile to continue digging out a piece of wooden board with signs of decay on the edge of the stable.

The sand was hard, and the two of them had no common tools, so soon their fingers were bloody and their nails were cracked.

According to the original custom of the Mongols, there is no need for stables at all. The horses are grouped in groups of four to five hundred, and they are arranged around the camp to eat and sleep in the open air. Over the years, due to the increasing exchanges with the tribes in the northeastern interior and the Central Plains, the value of the horses has become more and more

The higher the population, so many small tribes began to learn to build stables to maintain delicate ponies or pregnant mares.

However, their skills were rough and they lived only by water and grass, so they would not spend too much energy on it. The wooden planks were not rammed deeply into the ground. Lu Shu and A Duo worked hard for most of an hour, and the whole wooden plank shook slightly.

Lu Shu took off his robe, tied up the entire board, and then lay down on the ground and kicked hard. After three or five times, the board snapped. Because it was wrapped in his robe, the sound was not harsh and could not be distinguished at first glance.

Where the break lies.

The two of them did not act rashly and returned to the thatch pile, continuing to sleep soundly. When Wu Lachi passed by again for inspection, the two of them covered their heads and faces with both hands and rushed towards the broken part of the board.

With a series of clicking sounds, the two of them were knocked out of the stable and rolled on the ground. Regardless of the pain all over their bodies, the two of them jumped up and ran to the pasture not far away where the horses were resting.

These horses were all saddleless and could not be driven by ordinary people. However, Lu Shu and A Duo still had their roots in northern Xinjiang. They each hugged the neck of a strong horse tightly, jumped on it, and urged the horse.

Walk!

The two of them spurred their horses with all their strength, and ran very far almost in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until they were outside that the angry shouts of the Wu Lachi could be heard.

Uncle Lu looked back and vaguely saw figures moving around in various campsites, as well as dogs barking one after another.

The next moment, Wu Lachi, who was shouting the loudest, screamed loudly, apparently being killed by the leader. The barking of dogs became more intense, and the sound of horse hooves began to roar.

The Tatars chased them out. When Lu Shu heard the sound of thunder, he hugged the horse's neck and pressed his body as close to the horse's back as possible.
